I built the walls that make my life a prison, I built them all and cannot be forgiven... ...Sold my soul to carry your vendetta, So let me go before you can regret it, You've made your choice and now it's come to this, But that's price you pay when you're a monster with no name.

Then I guess you're not going to start an e. e. cummings appreciation thread?

One thing that puzzled me during my bookstore days was how publishers were VERY inconsistent on their typography of his name. Several books had E. E. Cummings on the spine and title page, and I can't remember exactly why, but other indications seemed to suggest that it wasn't simply out of ignorance, but circumstantial depending on context of how his name was used in that instance.

I've been watching Prime Minister's Questions (from the UK and Australia) and it's way more interesting than anything that happens in the U.S. Congress. Only once in a short while does a Congressman give an animated speech, and disputes between parties play out in long, boring speeches or in press conferences. But in Parliamentary systems there's a built in procedure for yelling right at each other. It's brilliant.

Much has been said about my ferocious distaste for small children and the parents of same. I believe I have located the source of that grating bias, I fly regularly. Thus I have other people's children inflicted by on me frequently.

About infant free flights, there's at least one Asian airline that separates families with small children from the rest of the passengers, which is such a great idea. On the flight home from Scotland last week I had a little boy behind me who kept kicking the back of my seat, and a baby in front of me who cried all the time. I know they can't help it, but aaaarghh

Babies can't help crying, but their parents can do things about it - feeding a baby on a flight is a good way to get them calm. Small children can help kicking the back of seats and if their parents aren't stopping them, they're crap parents.

I feel like genitalia should be described like navels. Like you have an innie, and outie, or something in between. And your gender is a different thing entirely. Like navels; guys can be innies or outies and no one judges them for it. And when you want to date someone with a certain type you just say you like innies. Or guys with innies. Or whatever.

what she said was sad, but then, all the rejections she's had, to pretend to be happy could only be idiocy

I think the kid behind me was that awkward inbetween size where his legs weren't long enough for the seat, so his knees were positioned before the end of the seat, making his legs stretched out so that his feet touched the seat in front of him (my seat). I dunno if that makes sense, but he didn't seem to be kicking on purpose, so I didn't get too mad about it. Still annoying though, at least it wasn't a long flight.

A lot of infant crying on flights is due to pressure changes, parents (and everyone for that matter) should perform or induce a Valsalva maneuver.

It's very simple, you hold the nose shut and incline the head forward gently. They should induce on their own from there.

itis: Suffix meaning inflammation. For example, colitis is literally colon inflammation or figuratively inflammation of the colon. The ending -itis is one of the building blocks derived from Greek (in this case) or Latin used to construct medical terms.

I just got the image of a midwife and a woman giving birth swinging towards each other on a trapeze - when they meet, the midwife pulls the baby out. The knife juggler is standing on the floor and cuts the umbilical cord with a a knifethrow.

In the movie Inception, it is a plot device that protagonists travel into a dream amd when they need to get out, music will play. It is, however, slower than usual, since time passes slowly in the dream.
